The Home Builders Association of Metro Denver (HBA) announced today that its hallmark event, the Parade of Homes, is returning for its 32nd year. The 2017 Parade will be held August 10 – Labor Day (September 4). The free event features new and never-lived-in homes throughout the Denver metropolitan area and is a wonderful opportunity for potential home buyers and anyone interested in home remodeling and design to get new ideas and inspiration.

With a growing number of attendees every year, the Denver Parade of Homes has established itself as the must-see home showcase summer tradition. The 2016 Parade featured 62 homes and drew more than 100,000 visitors. Visitors expected to attend the 2017 Parade will discover unique homes and floor plans, the latest in interior design trends and exterior finishes and outdoor living, and landscaping that will inspire. This year’s show will showcase a wide-range of new homes, from no-maintenance townhomes and paired homes to custom built, high-end luxury, state-of-the-art homes – all for sale along the Front Range.

The Parade of Homes featured 62 homes in 2016, including this Dream Home by TRI Pointe Homes.

“Whether you’re a current homeowner looking for remodeling ideas or a buyer looking for your perfect home, you will find an array of homes and products to pique your interest at the Parade of Homes,” said Jeffrey Whiton, CEO of the HBA. ”The 2017 Parade will give the public the ‘wow factor’ they look forward to seeing at the ‘Dream Homes,’ while they also have an opportunity to see great new homes, in a variety of prices and styles, from established neighborhoods tonew communities.”

Whiton said a call for entry has been submitted via special invitation to HBA member and community developers, to participate with new, never-lived-in homes and community spotlights eligible for the Parade. Homes featured in the Parade will range in price from under $400,000 to more than $1.5 million. Homes in the higher range ($750,000 and above) will be considered for the category of ‘Dream Home.’

The Parade of Homes is free and open to the public beginning Thursday, Aug. 10, 2017 – Monday, Sept. 4, 2017 on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. More news will be released soon.
